oNEy MARKET AND COMMZE,CIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Alas! when Bass is triumphant and the bill is passed, what will the lover of peace and quietness have gained ? There are people who like mechai nical music. There are people who raffle for musical snuffboxes. Only the other day a clergy man living at the East-end of town came to a police-magistrate with tears in his eyes and com plained that he could not write his sermons in consequence of the un - Christian conduct of his next door neighbour. If an organ -grinder were requested to move on, he called ale offender into his front garden, and listened in common with his children and servants for hours together mith every sign of rapturous delight. The magistrate stigmatised this conduct as unneighbourly, b u t th e infatuated man declared that if he had no garden he would call the artist he loved into his balcony. Suppose an Italian gentleman with a magnificent chest and a powerful bass voice takes the next house and prac tises singing from ten in the morning tili nine at night. We happen to know from practical expe rience that even when the singing is very good the flesh of the involuntary listener wearies about the o evening of the second day. M r. B a bb age , on th e hand—and that g ent l eman has t h oug ht muc h on these subjects—is of opinion that " the effect of a uniform and continuous sound in distracting the at tention or in disturbing intellectual pursuits is almost insensible, It is the change from quietness to noise, or from one kind of noise to another which instantly distracts the attention." This suggests to one that if he had only thought of keeping a private hurdy-gurdy to play constantly day and night before his house, he would have balite' his tormentors, and perhaps ere this have completed the analytical ma chine. For ourselves, w e principle he lays down, entirely agree with the and regard the street-organ with comparative complacency. It is only a low monotonous sound. Still, though sharing to its full extent that philosophic capacit y to b ear t h e calami ties of others which is seldom wanting to the human race, we abandon the Savoyard to Mr. Bass. But what in return will the foes of street music do for the haters of shrill and sadden sounds ? Are the street cries to go unchecked ? A person sitting in - hot weather with his drawing room window open is ,probably not more than 20 feet from the passenger on the foot pavement. A fiend in human shape, creep under your w w i i n th do a w b w as i k th et th o n e s il t e l his h t h e yadf,evir ferocity y of a red Indian, and suddenly yell "Strata-awberry I" w ith an erear piercing shrillness which defies la nguage , an d in a f m o o r m yo en ur t t n h e e x thadpin p n-party is for ever l ost. T o they impromptu y ou were arrang i ng who perambulates n yornamensfuyar amcertain o I h v a e s a h te e r a n rd su a h c u e r r h ta e i ; la i‘ d A y n firestuvs," Signor Tamberlik's famous ut de poitrine is an ordinary achievement. Nor are these cries merely shrill, they are so hideously uncouth that they suggest the idea that the peripatetic green grocers, and crockery - men, and collecto rs o f ra bbi t adopted a system o f that London is divided into districts which are the monopoly of th e e sk om in i s n , t a i n ti d ve kn e if x e; fin gr i i n n a d t e jo r n s a h , av a e nd performers. All people far worse thesemost nuisances a a r n e d to very many unintelligible than street music, and yet the costermonger class can set us all at defiance, for they yell as they walk. We do not the least grudge Mr. Bass's clients any relief he may be able to give them, but it will be of no more good to the haters of noise than is to a hungry man mustard without beef. Nor is it very cer Lain that even within its own narrow limits the measure will be very effective. You will have to find a policeman before you can do anything, and that ie one of the hardest things to find in this metropolis. And when the policeman has reached your house the culprit will be gone. The impatient householder, instead of fuming at the presence of the organ-grinder, will fume at the absence of the constable, and Mr. Bass will give the wandering minstrel at least this characteristic of the true musician, that he suggests the unattainable. We shall cry to him what Richter said to music— " Away I Away ! Thou speakest to me of that which in all my endless life I have not found, and shall not find." The fact of the matter is that different people have very different notions as to what is beautiful in sound as in everything else. Almost all rude people love a monotonous sort of recitative. The music of savages is never anything more, and it may very well be doubted whether that of the ancient Greeks is entitled to a much higher place in the estimate of connoisseurs. Wordsworth was a poet, but he could detect no melody in the Ranz dez Vaches. The s ongs o f de people, " sung to the wheel end sun g unto t h e pail," are always of 1 this class; but that w hi c h i s mus i c in the ears of ; the cook as she cl eans h er d i shes d r i ve s her mistress in the parlour to d esperat i on. E ven Mr. Babbage admits that all servants an d children love hand-organs. The publicans would not encourage them if their customers did not. Of course this does not entitle p eop l e to worry others t o death by the gratification of t h e i r private tastes, and good sense and good feeling alike require that if we amuse ourselves by ma ki ng a noise we s hould take care that it is a t t i mes and p l aces which are not unreasonable. Sp ea ki ng generally , neighbours understand each oth er pretty well, an d a quiet re monstrance is seld om unheeded. B u t if a man's neighbour is cantankerous, the law can never pre vent his doing as h e li kes on his awn premises, street noises stand, no doubt on g diff erent footin g , for those who like st reet 0 right to the public thoroughfar e as a stage for the .7tusinian' music have A Therefore any objector has a clear right to pre , vail over a whole streetful of willing listeners. It is net without a pang that we make the admission, but justice requires that a t the demand of a house holder even Punch and J u d y should move on. Nor can we object that cotatuma ey should be summarily punished, only we can not help th i nk i ng t h at i t wo uld be better inst ea d of imprisoning the musi cian to impound his instrument, which might be re turned after a certai n s h ort interval on payment of a fin©• As to the subj ect of street noises in gene ral, or rather such of them a s d o not ar i se f ro m the lawful use of the highway, an d are no t s t a ti onar y, we do not blame Mr. Bass for not meddling with oulilbdebrteyhard to suppress unnecessary them.is more valuable even than amount of discretionary power to the police with which they are scarcely fit to be entrusted.

CITY OF BRISTOL LIPEBOAT..—. 1 An interesting ceremony took place on Wednesd ay the occasion of the presentation ) by th a t . , ancient city, df a splendid lifeboat tUlly equipped, to th e National Liteboat in Bristol ) on Institution. The boat, which is a telf.righting one, is 32 feet long, and was built in 14ndon under the superinten deuce of the institution. The presentati on took place on the erbunds of the West of England A gr i cu l tura l Show, and there was present at the time about 20,000 persons. The Mayor of Bristol, who was accompanied by the Earl Fortenue, Captain R. Tryon, R.N., and other gentlemen , having presented the lifeboat to the institution, Mr Lewis, its secretary, accepted, in an appropriate speech, the gift on behalf of the committee of management. He alluded to the indefatigable exertions of Captain Tryon, R.N., in col lecting nearly £6OO to pay the expenses of the lifeboat, kc., the success of which undertaking was mainly owing to that gentleman's valuable services. The lifeboat is to be sta tioned at Padstow, on the shores of the Bristol Channel, and to replace a smaller boat that was previously there. The Bristol people have named the boat the Albert Edward, in compliment to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, AQUATICS, ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. THE SCHOONER RAM For the first time since the establishment of the Royal Thames Yacht Club its yesterday's schooner race was honoured with the presence of Royalty, his Royal High ness the Prince of Wales accompanying the regatta through out. His Royal Highness and suite were conveyed from Fenchurch-street to Tilbury per rail, where he embarked on board the noble Commodore Lord Alfred Paget's beau tiful yawl Water Lily, where his lordship was waiting to receive him, a message having been promptly despatched by Lord de Roe, the vice -commodore, to bring the Eagle, the large steamer chartered by the club, direct to Tilbury. to take the Water Lily in tow. The illustrious party en board the yacht consisted of the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, Prince Louis of Hesse, Lord Sydney, Col. Keppel, Mr Haig, Lady Alfred Paget, and Lady Bowmont. As soon as the Royal ensign wry; observed the liveliest de monstrations of loyalty and gratification were exhibited, and were duly and gracefully acknowledged by his Royal High ness and party. There were above 500 ladies and gentlemen on board the steamer, and amongst them Lord Landes borough, Lord Stanhope, Lord Alex. Paget, Sir P. Shelly, Gen. Christie, Col. Evelyn, Col. Campbell, Sir J. Burgoyne, Captains Sniugford, Campbell. Ames. Hawkins, Dymoke, Carr, Smithett, Barwell, and Col. Leach.

CRUELLY TORTURING A CAT.—George Taylor, of 14, Lancashire-court, New Bond-street, appeared before Mr Knox to answer the complaint of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of having cruelly tortured a cat. Edwin Harris, a lad living at No. 6, Lancashire-court, said that on the night of Whitsunday he was in the court, when he saw the defendant take up a kitten, strike it, then pinch it on the back of the neck, and afterwards squeeze its throat with both hands, trying to strangle it. The defend ant then dashed it on the ground, put his foot on it, and took it up, and again dashed it on the ground, and finally killed it. The defendant said that when he saw the kitten it had no owner with it, and he therefore thought he would put it out of the way, and did so. Some lads were kicking it about. Harris denied this, stating that he had been stroking and playing with a kitten. William How, another lad living in the court, said the kitten was not illused by any one but the defendant, who was seven minutes killing it. When he told defendant that the kitten belonged to a female living in the court, the defendant said he did not care a - for the kitten, and on the owner of the kitten saying it belonged to her, the de fendant said ha would like to serve her and every woman the same. Mr Knox asked whether the defendant was sober, and the witness said he thought not from his conduct. The defendant said he killed the kitten because he saw no owner of it. Mr Knox inquired of the defendant whether he was in the habit of killing all the cats he saw without owners. The defendant gave no answer. Mrs. Jenkins, the owner of the kitten, said, hearing cries of Shame," she went to see the cause, and the bystanders were complaining of the defendant's barbarous conduot to the kitten. On expostulating with defendant, he said he would serve every - female the same. Mr Knox said he did. not see why Mrs Jenkins should not have the cat protected, and but for the fact that defen dant would probably lose his work he would have sent him to prison. The defendant was then fined lOs and costs, or seven days' imprisonment in default, THAMES. ROBBERIES IN THE LONDON DOCK.—David Rogers, aged 21, who said he was living at a coffee-shop in King David-lane, Shadwell, was brought up before Mr Partridge charged with stealing a coat and hat. On the 23d of last month Edward Ellis, a London dock constable, saw the prisoner in•the dock with two coats on and a wide awake hat under the coats. Ellis made the prisoner pull off both coats, and being convinced that one of them was not his coat, and that it was not made for him, questioned him, and he said that he had bought the coat in "the lane," (as that great receiving depot, Petticoat-lane, is styled, par excellence) and ttiat he purchased the wide awake in the same place. Ellis detained one of the coats and the wide-awake, and knowing the prisoner well allowed him to depart. The coat and hat were afterwards identified by Mr John Binning, a foreman on the South-west Quay, whose box was broken open and his coat and hat abstracted. Ellis said other robberies of a similar description had been committed in the dock, and that the prisoner was suspected of having committed a robbery on board a steamship in the deck. The vessel was away and he wanted a remand. He apprehended the prisoner last night, in King David-lane, Shadwell. _ . Mr Partridge remanded the prisoner, and directed in quiries to be made about his antecedents. MARKETS--This Day. MARK-LANE. The arrivals of English grain fresh up to our market, to-day, were small. Notwithstanding the limited number of samples on the stands, sales progressed slowly both in red and white qualities, yet Monday's prices were supportel. The supply of foreign wheat on offer was by no means extensive. The trade, however, for nearly all descriptions ruled quiet, at late rates. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at pre vious quotations. Barley—the supply of which on sale was very moderate —changed hands at Monday's currenoy. The malt trade was quiet, on former terms. With oats the market was scantily supplied, and the trade ruled firm, with an upward tendency in prices. Beans and peas—the supplies of which were small—fully supported previous rates. Flour was in moderate request, at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK.. Wheat Barley. Malt Oath. Flow.

The races were open to all Royal Yacht Clubs, the prizes being a piece of plate value for the first class, of yachts exceeding 100 tons; and a piece of plate value £5O for the second class, not exceeding 100 tons. The above list com prised some of the finest schooners afloat ; but it was to be regretted that the wind was not such as to try their sailing qualities. There were besides the commodore's yacht, with his illustrious guests, and the club steamer, the Oread and the Queen of the Thames, filled with company, and a flaet of fifty gentlemen's yachts. The yachts were, as it appeared, in three lines, but this was the effect of accident. They had been arranged in two lines, but a part of the smaller craft had dragged their anchors, the only difference originally in position between the first and second class being that the larger craft were in a line a few yards above the others. The signal to get ready was given at 1020, and in five minutes afterwards a gun proclaimed the time for going off, the noble vice-commodore having as usual officiated in the disposal of the yachts at their stations and superintending and directing the race. When the gun to start was fired the Eagle took the Water Lily in tow, and owing to a tier of barges Tilbury Pier it became necessary to swing both the steamer and the yacht, and the nautical skill dis played by Capt. Ryan, the commander of the Eagle, in per forming this difficult task with vessels of such length, gained for him the universal applause of experienced men who witnessed it, and the yacht, with her Royal freight, evenly fell into the rear of the ponderous steamer. The wind was southerly, and there was a nice little breeze at the time of starting, but it unfortunately did not con tinue long. The Intfepid swung well and made the best start; the Blue Bell lot go her spring too soon, and not being able to get round went ashore, from whence she was in five minutes afterwards towed off, but although she continued the race she was, of course, disqualified. The lolanthe ,and Albertine, at a minute after they swung, took the lead, and all set balloon topsails and jibs, and began to move briskly, with the wind aft. On entering Gravesend Reach there was a very beautiful sight. As far as the range of vision would extend, the eye beheld a perfect cloud of canvas belonging to the accompanying vessels, white close within view from the steamers were the contending craft, courting by every means in their power the gentle zephyrs, which became more gentle every minute. There was at that moment the Galatea to windward, half-a-dozen yards ahead of the Albertine and Cissey to the north, while the Medea, Fleur-de-Lys, and remainder of that class were almost beam and beam to the southward. As they con tinued down the reach the Albertine gained slightly, but the advantage was almost momentary, and was as soon lost, and the Albertine, Cissey, and Medea were all again almost in a line. The wind now almost died off, leaving the Galatea to windward, the Cissey to leeward, with Madcap in the best position, and close to her the Cissey. As the wind died away, all the vessels were again together, and it became sheerly a matter of chance for a long way which should lead, some of the sternmost boats bringing down a nice light air with them, while the others were almost be calmed. Some of the larger vessels came up to the Medea and Fleur-de-Lys, and the Albertine then shot to windward of the Fleur-de-Lys and tried to go by the Galatea, but could not. It would have been difficult to have crowded more canvas upon the yachts than they bore; the Medea had an enormous balloon jib set to her topmast-bead, and certainly profited by it; but as we have before said there was nothing to try what the yachts could do, and their posie tions became uncertain by the wind blowing out from differ ent points of the compass,and the tide really aiding their pro gress as much or more than the wind. At the Chapman there was a light breeze from north and by west,and the Albertine and Galatea were on the north side of the river, while on tke south were the Madcap, Aquiline, Flying Fish,and lolanthe, with the Cissey and Medea in the centre beam and beam, and the Blue Bell astern of them—while there was hardly a couple of cables' length in point of position between the whole fleet. Shortly after this the Albertine,standing well over to the northward, got a nice breeze and went right into the first place, the Madcap being second, and the Aquiline third ; but soon there was another change, the Intrepid passing the Madcap into the second place, the Galatea being third, awd the lolanthe fourth. Off Southend the foremost boats were again nearly becalmed, while the eternmost brought down a nice wind, which brought them all together, and the Galateacame close in the wake of the Intrepid, while the latter became level with the Albertine. The Intrepid then went towards the Nore with a slight lead, the Galatea► next, coming beam and beam with the Madcap. The ebb tide having nearly expired, and their being no nee whatever in protracting this tedious and uncertain state of things, the Eagle was anchored a quarter of a mile below the Nore, and the yachts rounded the Water Lily at her stern in the following order : H. M. S. intrepid —34l . ii lolanthe Albertine Madcap b, '' . q,latea Cissey. Fleur-de-, r ' v° 3 50 ]0 Blue Bell . ... Flying Fish Medea 3 60 40 3 53 27 Aquiline . Within the experience of the oldest yachtsman present, it was admitted that there never had been p een so fine and so picturesque a scene as the above yachts pri;. , ented in rounding ; the Albertine literally covered the view of the lolanthe, while the other yachts were in a complete cluster. When they jibed the echelon again elicited the utmost admiration. There was but very little wind, but the flood tido was beginning to make well, and they tacked over io the north side of the river, the Albertine coming right away from her tier of vessels, but the Intrepid still leading. When the steamer had got her anchor, the wind having slightly freshened, the foremost vessels were lost to view, and when the Eagle became level with the middle of the ficet they were found on different tacks, so dispersed, so wide, and 06 intermixed with the number of boats not in the race, that it iVas iifficult for a long while to make them out with any degree ei,:ertainty. And while on this subject we may take occasion to say that some little distinguishing .co lour should be used by yachts 7 hile racing ; and to advert not engaged in races to the improper conduct of vessels „ was so manifest crossing and impeding those who are. Th. : ' in one instance, that at the request of Lord de lri.sos, Captain Maybownie, of the Thames Conservancy, was kiwi: !lough to remonstrate with the captain of a cutter who bate ." offended. Off Southend the Madcap and lolanthe were stand . . ing on the south side, the Intrepid had just tacked, and the Albertine was nearly half a mile astern of her. The Blue Bell was to windward of the Flying Fish, Fleur-de Lye, and Galatea, and the Medea was going dead to windward of the Cissey. They were now again lost to view for some time. Shortly before arriving at the Chapman beacon, with a very i m p r oved state of wind, the Madcap reached by the Intre pid, and above the beacon the Albertine passed the Madcap and Intrepid to windward, and afterwards was so closely pressed by her all the way home that it was a question to the last which would win, The race finished as under : H.

The prinbe and his suite then embarked in the ferry boat for the Tilbury line to London. The refreshments, as usual, supplied by Mr May, the steward of the Eagle, were excellent; but great complaints were made of the conduct of the band of the Horse Guards Blue, BANK OF FRANCE.

VUITRY. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) HOUSE OF LORDS. YELVERTON V. LONGWORTH (OR YELVERTON). (Present the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Chelmsford, Lord Kingsdown, and Lord Wensleydale.) This morning their lordships resumed the inquiry into this ease. The Attorney-General continued his address. He , said that when their lordships rose yesterday he was adverting to two letters, one by the appellant, and one by the re spondent, These two letters were very strong, especially that of the lady, and in it were contained expressions in which she intimated that she considered herself irrevocably bound to Major Yelverton. The explanation he (the Attorney-General) offered about this, meant either that she did not hold him to his bargain if he did not care for her, which a lady labouring under strong feelings might say without any reference to law at all, an irregular secret marriage having taken place without consummation. He thought that was the natural and just interpretation of,the passage. But if that interpretation were rejected ha con tended that the idea in her mind might have been that they were not irrevocably united, no religious ceremony having taken place, and 83 that if they liked they might part. The Lord Chancellor—What are the last words of the lady's letter on that occasion ? The Attorney-General — The last words were " write to me immediately, or I will come and find you. It is too late to take you at your cruel word." He relied very much upon these words, for he thought it was plain from them that the lady considered they were irrevocably bound, for she had said that she would be a most degraded person, the most sensual wanton, if she thought of any body else, for in the sight of God she was his. Simply, then, he con tended that what she meant was, that if Major Yelverton did not care for her, she would make him as free as he ever was. She said—" You know there is a refuge for the broken in spirit," and the only interpretation he could put upon that was that she meant that the refuge was in heaven. The only other interpretation that couli be put upon it was that having been recently married, and he thought it might not be binding; but if that were the view of the case, it only put it in the eama category with the cases of Dalrymple and others, which he had already cited, in which doubts, hesitations, and uncertainties in the minds of the parties did not stand in the way of the operation of the facts. Lord Brougham—Do you say that the letters contain a plain promise of marriage previous to all this ? The Attorney-General said--Yes, clearly. He said he had promised to do more than he could perform when the time came. That could not mean anything short of a pro mise of marriage—marriage alone it was and must be. No thing could be clearer than this interpretation of the care. The learned gentleman proceeded to read from letters with a view to show that the lady resisted a consummation of the 1 marriage until a religious ceremony should have taken place. She appeared to magnify this point very much, and he con tended that there was nothing to show that she was not as pure, as scrupulous, and as virtuous as she stated herself to be, and as he (the Attorney-General) contended her letters proved. Other portions of the respondent's letters pointed as clearly and as explicitly to marriage as though she had called him husband in so many words, She spoke of her sister loving her husband better than herself, and said that was natural, drawing at the same time a parallel between the two cases. In fact there were so many allusions to the relations between husband and wife as to show that she had their relation to each other as husband and wife continually on her wind, and they were irrevocably bound together in that relationship. He now brought the parties to Ireland, and the first thing hs wished to speak of was the question which had been controverted whether she allowed her scruples to be overcome in the period which elapsed between their arrival in Ireland on the 29th or 30th of July, and the 15th of August,when the religious ceremony was performed by Father Mooney at Rostrevor. A ring had been bought by Major Yelverton, and it was urged that this was necessary in order that they might go about together. Lord Brougham—ls there any evidence when that ring was bought ? The Attorney-General said there was. It was bought on the 25th of July, in Dublin, of a tradesman named Martin, and it was absurd to urge that i t was necessary to enable the parties to go about together in Dublin. It appeared that they lived together in Ireland, and occupied the same room at nights. That was proved by a variety of witnesses, but it had not been proved that actual intercourse had taken place between them. The appellant swore that that was the case, and it was not unlikely that persons who had contracted a marriage, ac cording to the Scottish law might live together, but that if the man respected the reli,zious scruples of the lady, and possessed sufficient self - control , the actual consummation of the marriage might btt deferred ma til after the performance of the religious ceremony. In anot: le r letter the lady seid she would do all ho wishe d, and that sZle would trust him, L or d Chelmsford said it WO very unpleasant to marten a b ou t such matters, as it was vary evident other persons might put a different interpretation upon them, The Attorney General said he was quite seizsible of that, and he did not wish unduly to press that portion of the case. All he wanted to urge was that if their lota.l - should find themselves called upon to deal with that part of the case, they would take into consideration 1 the general nature of the evidence and the character of the e an u c o e w if oa t m he e p t a o rt t i h es e perxeeoreceidseiodgesuwffiheileehnttosoeklf-pcloance tParties, to show that there was nothing: i m probable in the at;:er Mooney and th e Bi s h o p, which was very I, r i e r ol o . r u important, as ccaring upon the question whether the Irish marriage cweratsifiacagt:jl or bad marriage in itself. Father and that: men into the chapel the Mooney stated in hi s evidence that he received the when the lady and gentle roegeu_tieman came to him and said, " Mr Mooney, there is no occas!on for this, it has all been previous settled and arranged, t I will do it to satisfy the lady's conscience." Mr Moons; said he was came 2)efore him aware of the circumsta:lees, and that they as man and wife in consequence of a marriage contra: led in Scotland. He (the Attorney General) contended that words used by Major Yelverton were susceptible of no just, honest, or natural meaning except that which Father Mooney put upon them, namely, that a legal marriage had taken place, but that a religious ceremony was required to satisfy the lady's conscience. At this point their lordships assembled r ound ththe n e e con table at which the Lord Chancellor sat, and h eld a leng su lt a tion. At its close, Lord Brougham said — lt is cle ar that Mooney, hbelideved what was stated to him, but th e question was, a he gr ound for believing it by the adm ission of both parties. The Attorney- General said tha t it was clear that the lady acknowledged the marriage, and it was e qually clear that Major Yelverton did when he told Fathertha Moh he merely to satisfy the lady's conscience. That could mean nothing else than the admission that there had been a legal mar riage, and tha t he went through the religious ceremony to satisfy the lady's conscience. Lord Brougham thought that if Major Yelverton used these words, he could have meant nothing else than that there had been marriage without a religious ceremony, and that as they were man and wife the lady wished for a reli gious ceremony. The Attorney-General having commented on some of ' the circumstances he had already stated, said he thought their lordships would agree that sufficient had been made out to show the correctness of the views of Lords Currie- hill and Dees, that there had ben). a marriage pro verbs preesenti, and that there had been a sufficient confirmation of it by subsequent acknowledgements. Mrs Yelverton and her friends did not arrive to-day till past one o'clock. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. --•- -- - CARLISLE MEETING—JULY 5. The Cumberland Plate. Twice round and a distance.

FACTORY ACTS EXTENSION BILL. On the motion for going into commitee on this bill, Mr BAGWELL drew attention to the condition of the tailors and needlewomen of London, and contended that the legislation in regard to other classes could be applied with benefit to these bodies. He moved that it be an instruction to the committee to take into considera tion the condition of the two classes to which he referred. Sir G. GREY thought it would be inexpedient to legis late with respect to dill„ ent classes of the labouring popu lation without the report of a commission. The Govern. ment were proceeding step by step on the recommendation of the commission. The SPEAKER explained that the instruction moved would be informal, and it was withdrawn. The house then went into committee. Clauses to 3 were agreed to, and on clause 4, Mr ADDERLEY and Mr WATKINS made some ob servations in support of some general measure of legisla tion on this subject instead of dealing with it from year to year. Mr BRUCE denied that it would be practicable to intro duce any general measure on the subject, as circumstances might arise from year to year which would render an alte ration in legislation necessary. He understood from Mr Baker that additional inspectors were not required. With regard to machinery and time of labour, he would take the subject into consideration. The clause was then agreed to. In page 5, first schedule, Mr. BRUCE moved an alteration in regard to the " packers." Mr. ROEBUCK said that this was a contest which had been going on for forty years, and the improve ments which had been effected in the condition of the classes employed in factories and mines had been invariably op posed of by theth e es manufacturers.of 4packers' the provisions thatthe o e exclu sioni - bill was unjust to them, and virtu al legislation n favour of the manufacturers. Sir G. GREY said it was not intended to exclude the class in question, but their case was not provided for by the present measure. It should be remembered that they were proceeding upon the reports of two commissions. Af te r some further discussion, in which Mr. Crum E w i n g, Mr. Potter, Mr. Buxton, Sir Hugh Cairns, Mr. Baines, and other hon. members took part, Mr. C.

He had acted on tho advice he had receiv e d re l at i ve to the omission of t h e words in the clause, but he could not deny that there was a strong feeling in th e h ouse in favour of ret ai n i ng th e clause inits entirety, and, therefore, he would consent to the suspension of the sitting of the committee until Monday week. After another discussion, the proposition of the right hen s gentleman was acceded to by the house. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Monday week. The sitting was then suspended until six o'clock. Bank of England Return,--Last Evening.
